Edinburgh International Festival Schools’ Concert

rmpstaff

On Monday, 27th of August, P7 were invited to see watch the Virgin Money concert with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

They were performing pieces from Gustav Holst’s, ‘The Planets’. They played Mars, bringer of War, Saturn, the bringer of Old Age, Uranus, the magician and Jupiter, the bringer of joy!

We were seated next to lots of Primary 7s from schools around Edinburgh.

“I liked it because I love classical music and how it was a live performance of the music. I also liked the sound of the music and my favourite pieces were Mars and Jupiter.”

“We really enjoyed it, it was super fun!”

“Everyone enjoyed the concert very much, despite the never ending wasps!”

Reading

Children should remember to complete the log in the front of their reading journal. This should show what book they are reading and a comment about it. This could be something that they have enjoyed or a favourite character. They should also complete the second activity, the very grid. This asks children to fill the grid with verbs that they have found in their books, including any adverbs e.g. the children ran quickly, where ran is the verb and quickly is the adverb.

Spelling

This weeks spelling words focus on the ‘ask’ and ‘ast’ siffixes. Children should complete a spelling activity from the spelling grids and tick it off when complete.

  • ask
  • flask
  • fast
  • cast
  • past
  • vast
  • mask
  • last
  • blast
  • enthusiast

Maths

Children have all stuck a worksheet into their jotters. For the first grid the children should try to find as many number bond pairs to 20 as possible. They should colour the grid, using a different colour for each pair. If they run out of colours then they can number them or write the pairs out on the next page of their jotters.

The second grid requires them to do the same, only with number bonds to 100.
